Reflection: I had a fun time doing this project. It did seem like a lot at first trying to figure out how to use the VoiceThread and enter it into the page here. I was thankful to have fellow classmates who could help me figure out how to use it. I think this would be fun to use in my classroom because I would like to see where the kids take it and how their mind works. It was a lot of work trying to find pictures and then copy and paste them into the VoiceThread and make sure they were all in the right order and showed up how they needed to. It would probably be best if I used this in a classroom to have a few days to go over it and work on the project. I enjoyed working on this project and cannot wait to see my other classmates' work!
